Jose Butto Expected To Start On Sunday

New York Mets starting pitcher Jose Butto is expected to take the mound for Sunday's start against the Kansas City Royals.

It appears he'll […]

Darius Vines Recalled On Friday

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Darius Vines has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday. The organization is still searching for a viable option for the fifth spot in the rotation after the loss of Spencer Strider (elbow) who was placed on the injured list. Vines is expected to help fill out the rotation, so the […]

Matt Brash Throws Successful Bullpen Session

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Matt Brash (elbow) was able to throw a successful bullpen session on Wednesday, according to manager Scott Servais. The organization hasn't given a timetable for when Brash will get back on the mound. However, it sounds like Brash has been making solid progress. He still has more work to do, so […]

Nathaniel Lowe Continues Making Progress

Texas Rangers first baseman Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) was able to take batting practice and run the bases without any issues on Wednesday. The 28-year-old reportedly felt great after Wednesday's session. Despite that, the Rangers have not given a timetable for when Lowe will return to the field. It feels like Lowe is getting close to […]

Brent Rooker Absent Again

Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker (abdomen) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. This marks the second game in a row that Rooker has missed after exiting early during Sunday's game. It appears the organization believes this is a day-to-day issue. That being said, Rooker should avoid a […]

Edouard Julien Homers Twice In Win

Minnesota Twins second baseman Edouard Julien put together a strong performance versus the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Julien blasted a leadoff home run to kick off the bottom of the first inning. He later homered again in the fifth inning to give the Twins a 3-2 lead. The score would hold as Julien provided […]

Ryan Noda Remains Out On Wednesday

Oakland Athletics first baseman Ryan Noda (hand) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Texas Rangers. The left-handed slugger was scratched ahead of Tuesday's game due to a hand issue. In his absence, J.D. Davis will cover first base and bat third versus left-hander Cody Bradford. Davis doesn't offer great […]

The rookie outfielder has started in each of the team's first 11 games of the season. Langford is slashing .261/.314/.326 with six RBI through 51 plate appearances. Travis Jankowski will serve as the designated hitter […]

The expectation is that he'll join teammates Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert Jr. on the injured list. […]

Corey Seager Not Starting On Tuesday

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as this appears to be a routine rest day for Seager. He's off to an excellent start, batting .368 with one home run and five RBI in nine games. […]

J.D. Martinez Not Ready Yet

New York Mets outfielder J.D. Martinez (back) will be shut down for three to five days after receiving a cortisone shot. The veteran slugger is dealing with lower back tightness, so hopefully this shot and rest will help him. Martinez wasn't expected to join the Mets this week, but this news means his season debut […]

Max Scherzer Throws Bullpen Session

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Max Scherzer (back) threw a bullpen session without any issues on Tuesday. The plan is for Scherzer to progress to facing live hitters in a batting practice session next week. The 39-year-old remains without a timetable to return, but the expectation is that Scherzer is back before the start of June. […]

Francisco Alvarez Remains Out On Tuesday

New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. When asked about the situation, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Alvarez is beat up right now. It sounds like the young backstop is dealing with normal bumps and bruises that happen when you're a full-time […]

Framber Valdez Lands On Injured List

Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. This news comes after Valdez was scratched from Monday's start due to left elbow soreness. Astros' manager Joe Espada said the plan is to shut down Valdez for a day or two and then he'll be re-evaluated. Blair […]

Andrew Wiggins Listed As Probable For Tuesday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Wiggins was a late scratch on Sunday due to a left ankle sprain. It sounds like it's a minor ankle issue, which is why Wiggins is considered probable for this contest. Trayce Jackson-Davis will likely […]

Stephen Curry Expected To Play On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (rest) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The veteran guard received a rest night on Sunday but appears to be refreshed and ready to go on Tuesday. Curry has been removed from the injury report which means he's expected […]

Keegan Murray Listed As Questionable On Tuesday

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Murray is dealing with left calf soreness, but he hasn't missed a game in nearly a month. If he sits, Trey Lyles and Kessler Edwards would likely be asked to play bigger roles. Neither of them […]

Aaron Gordon Holds Questionable Tag For Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Gordon remains uncertain for this game after missing their last contest due to a right foot strain. Christian Braun moved into the starting five but didn't offer much upside during his 25 minutes of playing time. If […]

Naji Marshall Tagged As Doubtful For Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's expected to continue missing time due to a lingering right shoulder issue. The absence of Marshall should mean increased playing time for Larry Nance Jr. in the rotation. He played 32 minutes during their […]

Jerami Grant Unlikely To Play On Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is listed as doubtful ahead of Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. At this point, the Blazers should rule out Grant for the season. This team isn't going to make the postseason, so they are highly unlikely to put Grant on the floor in a few meaningless […]

Jusuf Nurkic Uncertain For Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man was dealing with a calf issue, but now picked up an ankle injury. If he sits out, Drew Eubanks figures to move into the starting five. He hasn't exactly done much during his […]

CJ Abrams To Miss Monday's Game

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (finger) is not in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. This marks the third game in a row that Abrams has missed due to a bone bruise on his left pinkie finger. The organization is hopeful that it's a minor issue and he'll return […]

Justin Verlander To Make Rehab Start This Weekend

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) is scheduled to make another rehab start over the weekend. It doesn't sound like the organization has decided on which day Verlander will start. He threw 65 pitches during a rehab start with Triple-A Sugarland on Sunday. It wasn't great results for the veteran right-hander but the main […]

Jose Soriano Named Starter For Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano has been named the starter for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The organization has decided to stretch him out as a starter likely due to the fact they've had multiple injuries in their rotation.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France has been activated from the paternity leave list on Monday. France missed three games while his wife gave birth.

Jameson Taillon To Make Rehab Start In Triple-A

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (shoulder) is set to make his next rehab start with Triple-A Iowa. The right-hander made a rehab start with Double-A Tennessee on Sunday. The team hasn't scheduled the next start, but Taillon will make the jump to the Triple-A roster. If all goes well, Taillon could rejoin the Cubs […]

Bobby Dalbec Optioned To Minors

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec has been optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Monday. The former top prospect has struggled during his time with the big league club. So far this season, Dalbec was limited to nine at-bats in which he struck out during six of those. Possibly, Dalbec returns to the MLB if […]

Michael Conforto Not Starting On Monday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Michael Conforto (rest) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. There is no injury being reported so it's assumed that his absence is a routine rest day. It's a bit odd with a right-hander on the mound, but the expectation is he'll be back […]

Michael Lorenzen Will Make Additional Rehab Start

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen appears to be nearly ready to join the big league rotation. The right-hander said he was ready to go following his latest rehab start. However, the organization will have Lorenzen pitch one more time to get his pitch count up to 90. That means, Cody Bradford should make at […]

Jackson Merrill Collects Four Hits

San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill put together a solid day at the plate during Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The young slugger went 4-for-4 at the plate during Sunday's loss. All of the hits were singles, but Merrill is not known as a power hitter. He makes hard contact but isn't a […]
